Let's Build a Space Ship, Together! (Minecraft)
« on: September 16, 2012, 05:13:37 pm »

Alright. So we're going to use Forsaken1111's Modpack (basically a cut down version of Tekkit), and we're going to build our very own space ship! You guys are going to be making most of the decisions when it comes to what the ship looks like and what it's purpose is. I have a few starting screenshots already so you guys can get a reference of the shape and design I'm trying to go for. I'm going to be doing updates only on Saturdays, so I'm going to be naming them Week 1, Week 2, etc.

Sorry for another change, but to help me with getting this ship done, we shall do small builds for now, so yay for smaller builds, throw those ideas out there lads!

Spoiler:  Space Ship Stuffs (click to show/hide)

This is also an experience for me to get better at building, so this will be fun :)

So what sort of advice/outrageous demands are you looking for?

Ideas of what should be on the ship, what should power the ship (It can be purely decoration and not blocks that actually make things happen), stuff like that. Really anything, besides the geometrical design of the ship.

I'm gonna vote for a farm/biomass production area. Either something tech-heavy that makes biofuel for the engines or just a neat looking farm for food. I'd like some sort of plant breeding/lab area too if that's part of the pack.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I think it's in the pack, I'll check the creative menu, and NEI. If it is, I have NO idea how to work plant breeding.

Haha well, if the industrialcraft plant stick things aren't in the pack then there isn't anything as far as I know.

An engine room full of pipes and a massive glowing reactor of somekind I don't know technic that well so I can't elaborate if I said something literal on accident.

Now THAT is one good list. (I'll be making polls on what gets in and what doesn't)

If it were me, I'd make it into a large bullet-ish shaped ship with various bulkheads dividing different areas. You'd have the engineering section at the back, then there'd be things like a living quarters section, a cargo section, a hydroponics section, stuff like that... then it would naturally all end in a command section with a big glass fronted bridge right at the front so that all the important people can be where the crashing happens.

It's like a hollow point bullet! Except... that's a very expensive hollow point bullet.

Precisely, we're gonna need like a few dozen of these if Galactus or something ever decides to attack earth.

Why not attach a giant drill to the front just stuck to a cylinder sticking out of the center of the aformentioned bridge then? :P

Because then how would we see what we're crashing into? Those people should see what they're ramming into and look their impending doom in the metaphorical eyes with their very real and soon to be dead eyes like real men and women should!
